The only thing worse than wet woollen togs, is a knife in the back…
As the kiwi summer draws to a close, a family outing to the beach takes a deadly turn when a lifeless body washes up on shore. Grace is devastated to recognise the victim, Ricky, who worked in her friend’s bakery. But when the supposed drowning victim is rolled over, a shocking truth is revealed—he was murdered.
Drawn into finding the murderer of the cheerful baker, Grace picks at the tangled web of secrets that surrounded Ricky. The man lived a double, or even triple, life. But which version of him had provoked the fatal encounter? Grace and her friends must find the person responsible, before another life is lost to the same tide of violence that claimed Ricky.
This is the second instalment in the Grace Designs mystery series, about a seamstress turned sleuth in Wellington, New Zealand at the dawn of the 1920s.

I really love this series. The setting of New Zealand and the time period is really compelling, along with the main character Grace. I have already bought the next book and cannot wait to see what happens next to Grace, her business and her family.
I really enjoyed that book, in fact as I finished it, I could not wait, turned around and bought the last one
I love Tilly's tales! This book is as great as any other. Characters and their actions come to life through remarkable descriptions. I love how much attention to detail the author instills in developing both. I've read every book but this set on Sera and I'm thankful I found it because I hate having to wait for Tilly to publish another booth!
I really enjoy Grace and the characters in her murderous adventures. Thank you Tilly!
Always love the mystery and getting immersed in a different time and place. Interested to see how the characters will continue to be developed in upcoming books. Easy to use the BookFunnel app.
